[Eighty Swords]

I was referring to why I haven't been here to contribute as of late 80. I put a lot of my time into this shard as a player and a staff member here on IN:X when i was available to do so.

Kudos to you for investing time in INX, want a cookie?

And how the hell im i ruining others fun I was stating why I fell the shard is dead, just like you said its a opinion, or does only your opinion and the others that you like count? anyways Kamos is right about everything cater to the people that are here not the people that never log on.

Of course everyones opinion counts and not just mine or the ones I agree with. If I disagree with your opinion I will tell you what I think is wrong with what you are saying and maybe through some mature discussions we will come to a better understanding of each others opinions and maybe we'd even agree with pieces of what the other person thinks and then we can come up with an even better opinion then what the two of us originally thought. But who am I kidding? This is the internet I'm talking about, there's no such thing as a mature discussion here

I guess you don't see what you're doing that is ruining the fun of others so let me point some things out for you... You come here blatantly saying things like "pvp sucks" but you don't explain why you think it sucks. Instead you expect everyone to take your two word opinion as the word of god and that it's the only possible truth. You come here insulting people when they try to provide their opinion, you come here saying the shard is dead and no fun.

This is how you ruin others fun. Do you think new people want to come here and read negative things about a shard they might join? Do you think new people want to come here and see people getting flamed and insulted for sharing their opinion? Keep doing what you're doing because you, and people like you, are doing a bang-up job of keeping people away from INX.

You could cater to group 1 and have all of them back and you could cater to group 2 and get them back. You see what I'm trying to say? There's no real way to define who you should cater to. Ideal solution is to cater to both groups but there's too many hard-headed people around for that.

I say the hard headed people can go to hell. If you aren't willing to negotiate for the betterment of the shard, then you have no place here. You can't have all or nothing. Actually you can... a shard where you get 60-80% of what you like about UO, or no shard at all.

Everyone wants everything. Maybe instead of perpetually focusing on the balance between IN and XUO, we staff should decide what we think is balanced, then say deal with it. It sounds harsh, but I think people the main reason that the argument still goes on is because staff is so open to changes. The end result is that it's constantly flip-flopping by small amounts while other, more important things get ignored. *shrug*

Maybe a committee of level headed people need to get together to discuss the direction INX should go in if people want to see it running in 6 months or even 3 months. In a best case scenario there would be people on this committee that are staff members, players, and people from different backgrounds so INX can continue to try and attract a large style of players and not just a single type of player.
